Participant comments

Participants in Estoril appreciated that the CML conference fostered junior researchers and offered the possibility to discuss informally with world-renowned researchers and clinicians. They generally felt that the balance between scientific and clinical sessions was achieved and that the event offered good insight into new concepts in CML. Many particularly enjoyed the size of the event making it easy to speak to fellow scientists and clinicians as well as with faculty members. Oral presentations made by post-doctoral students were also popular; participants enjoyed the “hands-on” focus they gave to the conference.
